A Comparison of Full and ReducedRate Weed Management
Programs in Peanut

The Need for Cheaper Weed Control Strategies
34% of cost production for agri-chemicals
reduction in support price from $619 to $355
Strongarm/Valor Combinations
compliment each other
lower rates reduced cost less carryover? less injury
different MOA not labeled in 2003
OBJECTIVE to determine if the combination of 0.25X rates of
Strongarm + Valor would provide control equivalent to full rates of either applied alone
Why?
* Strongarm @ 0.45 ozs/A = $16.00
* Valor @ 3 ozs/A = $12.90
* Strongarm (0.113 ozs/A) + Valor (0.75 ozs/A) = $7.23/A

SummaryReduced Rates
less injurious than Valor at full rate similar weed control except for tropical
spiderwort and annual mg when used in total program (pre + post),
equivalent yields when compared to full rate programs
digging efficiency/weed seed bank concerns?
